Automatic loading data from data files in the hard drive?

Hi, I want to automate the process of loading data from a data file in the file system (e.g. c:\data\temp). I have the script to run using the loader (control file), but have to do manually. I basically have monthly data (exported into the data files from other systems) to load into the database and run the sql loader every month. I appreciate if you can tell me how to automate this or point to any tool. Thanks a lot!

Depends on your version (it's really important to mention it anytime anyone posts here!)
If you are on 10g, then DBMS_SCHEDULER can schedule anything you can do at the operating system. If you can write a script to run SQL*Loader, then you can use DBMS_SCHEDULER to automatically run that script.
It's rather harder to do the same trick on any non-10g database. DBMS_JOB cannot, for example, perform OS commands (such as 'sqlldr'), so then you have to use your operating system's scheduling capabilities (at for Windows or cron for Unix/Linux... and knowing your OS also helps provide meaningful answers!)

Failed to read data from report file Reason: The table could not be found.

Connection used Views, ODBC System DSN is setup properly.
Approach for import from business view manager and import wizard. both methods failed to import the Business View and underlying reports.
I figure I may have imported the Business View wrong? From Business View Manager I exported from my dev server then imported to prod server.
Apparently I learned exporting my business view also includes the Data Connections that the Business Views are dependent upon.
So which ever folder you specify it copies it there. Originally the all Data Connections Resides on the root folder. To return it to the original location. I deleted what I had exported. Exported this time to the root folder, then only deleted the business views, foundation, elements. Then exported again to the folder where I intended then only deleted the Data Connection.
Makes any sense? So I then had to re point the business views and all the dependent objects to the data connection that resides in the root folder.
I tested the connection, it works fine. I properly updated my crystal reports to the business view in production. Did a sample extract it works as expected.
However when i try to publish, either from Crystal or Publish wizard i get the same error?
As a work around i am thinking, after updating the business view in the crystal reports, shall i re map the fields?? or reexport the business views again?
Any help will be surely appreciated.

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

I'm not able to move files from my mac to my hard drive, but i can move files from my hard drive to my Mac. Would really like to make more room on my mac-any suggestions to get these files onto the hard drive?

When i plug my external hard drive into my mac i'm able to see all the files on it and move files off the hard drive to the mac, but not the other way around. I need to make more room on my mac and would really like these files to be on this particular external hard drive. Any help would be great!
Thank you
Kris

Thank you all. Sounds like i might as well buy a new (mac OS supported) external hard drive. Not worth the hassle/risk of taking all the old files off my current external HD.
Really appreciate all your help!

How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive?

How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive and keep the new iTunes library on the External Hard Drive. I have all the media and playlist and .xml .itl files, just want the iTunes to recognise the content.
I backedup my iTunes content by dragging to External Hard Drive. Formatted and reinstalled OS. My iTunes content is so large, that I wish for the Library and content to remain on the External Hard Drive. I have all the music files and playlists, I just cannot get the iTunes application to display all the content. Hoping to Not have to drag and drop all the content to be recopied into new iTunes organised files.
Troubleshooting this by researching other conversations on the web, I have come stuck for a solution. One Troubleshoot told me to hold down the Command key and then lauch iTunes and a dialogue box will appear to Choose a new library, however when I try this, no Dialogue box appear to give me the option!?

It sometimes has that funny switch symbol on it too.

I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

How I can back up my data from macbook pro that its hard drive seems to die soon?

     I need your help guys from the whole world.
I am now in Erbil (North Iraq) and there is no apple authorized resellers or anyone who can fix macs, they can destroy them as they try to repair it ( this is what happened      to me recently with My I phone and I pad). So I am left alone to fix it with your global help I hope.
The issue is, I didn't do back up on my mac book pro for over a year. I woke up 3 days ago, switched my mac and there was this funny pinc ponc noise coming from the lower right hand side of my mac (between track pad and keyboard), the computer was going slow and I wasnt able to do anything even after few restarts. It is always too slow to perform anything and this noise always start after few seconds of starting and keep going. the computer can still function very well on guest account *(safari only) and I don't hear the noise then nor when I press T. But if I try to log in to all my drive or in safe mode I get this noise and none function computer. when I went to disk utility there was message in red to back up my data immediately and take the hard drive to authorized service center.
I checked on internet, you tube and others..and it seems I have faulty hard drive. Since I am here alone and no service center so I think I will replace it myself. But first thing first i need to back up my precious data. I found few ways of doing this and I wonder if you can give me some tips, advise or any other method to do the back up.
1) Transfer data on target mode: I havent done this before but I am thinking to connect my faulty macbook pro to another with firewire, pressing T on the faulty Mac and install Super Duper on the other mac. Then I connect external hard drive to the working mac via USB. And the question is     :      can I transfer the files this way to an external bootable hard drive connected to the working mac     , so the working mac will function as bridge between faulty mac and external hard drive. Also can I do this process through my old none intel based power book(which I am using now) instead of borrowing macbook from friend?
2) Buy new hard drive, open my mac and replace the faulty one. then put the faulty one in external inclosure, connect to refurbished mac and transfer data back. Can I do this? will I need to install the mac os from the CD associated with it before I do transfer?
Is there any other way to do this please?

Hi PlotinusVeritas
where do I download the superdoper please?
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/superduperdescription.html
its here:
Download the free trial now!
This simple software is free and very easy to use, yes, it makes a 100% clone of ALL on your HD, everything.
(assuming its not so dead it wont copy).
you only need the free trial version to clone your HD.
can I download it on guest account? this one I can login and seems to function fine.
Then install same on your guest account, that wouldnt matter, since Superduper clones everything (except the recovery partition which you dont need in your case right now).
LaCie is Seagate (lacie doesnt make HD) , yes, that would be fine, clone your HD ASAP and hope it works.
there is no software fix for HD hardware failure, ......this is why a backup copy of data is so very important all the time, period.

Can I restore data from a dead Seagate external hard drive?

I have stored all my traveling pictures on my 2TB Seagate external hard drive. But when I plug the external drive to my PC this morning, it works quite slowly. When I click the external hard drive, it has no response. It seems like that
the Seagate external hard drive is dead. How is it possible to restore all files from a dead Seagate external hard drive when it has no response?

Something might be wrong with your Seagate external hard drive. You can try to plug out the external hard drive and reconnect it to your PC again to see if it can work normally. Once you are able to access the Seagate external drive, you
had better transfer all important data to another device to avoid data loss. If you are unable to access the Seagate, probably there are bad sectors on it. If so, you might have a try with data recovery software like iCare Data Recovery to extract files off
the external drive. This software is free and reliable.

Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

I have a whitemacbook 13-inch 2010 model. The hard drive crashed right before my final was due. It was not Photoshop, although 2 GB was not near enough to run it, but a corrupted file on the hard drive. should i get a new hard drive, or a new computer?

I have a limited budget. should I just replace the hard drive and get more RAM, and keep it going for
2-3 years? (this was a suggestion from the tech guy at school) or go ahead and buy a mac mini to get me through school? Or splurge and get a new iMac? I dont want to invest too much too soon due to the law of obsoletion, and of course my limited finances.

Well as I suspected I love OWC company I pulled out the mac hard drive , they offered me a Macdrive free trial program to check your drive on PC Windows and yesSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS it all there nothing lost
woohooooo , thank you but nothing is dead, when you have faith , this was a prayer answered big time I wanted a pro so much and I get to use my 500 plust 250 plus 120 GB drives all of them
ladies and gentlemen and I get to keep the 2 GB in from my macbook 13 inch and sell all the parts
yipeee
thanks for the support, now the case is Solved. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why does iTunes sort files on the hard drive differently to on the iPod?

Hey guys! im using itunes 8.2 and my new iPod classic 120GB.
I updated all my music in iTunes so that it is now perfectly organised on my iPod. The ipod appears to organise its artists using the "artist" field not the "album artist". because of this i decided to use "artist" like the album artist and "album artist" like the usual artist field so that i still had the names of some of the featuring artists etc (example: i have a song by Air featuring Beth Hirsh. normally this would have "artist" = Air feat. Beth Hirsh and "album artist" = Air. but as the ipod organises the other way around I swapped them over.) This all went fine and my iPod is perfect, as is the itunes library itself as i just sort by "artist" and it keeps everything as i like it.
As I had managed to get that in order I thought I would then let iTunes organise the music on my hard drive. Frustratingly iTunes then decided to organise everything on the hard drive by "album artist"! which means i've got 2 folders for my Air album one under Air and one under Air feat. Beth Hirsh.
Basically what im asking (after all that waffle) is 1) why is it different and 2) can i change it?
if there is a way of changing it (which im sceptical of considering apple tend to tell you whats best and then have done with it, as they are more often than not right!) then im assuming there is more chance of changing itunes than the ipod.
Any help will be much appreciated!
thanks Andy

The problem you've run across has been inherent in iTunes & iPod software for quite some time - I suspect they don't consider it an issue or it would have been addressed by now. See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums for suggested workarounds for this and other organisational issues, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Regarding reading data from a file in the application server.

Hello Everyone,
My question is:
The file in the application server consists of data with header, detail and trail out of which the detail contains the main information. The detail again contains the data in the form of a continuous string and again some spaces corresponding to a single record. I need to split the data in the internal table in such a way so that the first few characters get into field-1 of the target internal table. Again I need to consider the spaces for accessing the data for filling up in field-2. How do I decide on the 'Split' statement and specially when the whole string has to be taken care of as contatining data in a single string format without space and again some data after some spaces corresponding to a single record.
Your help is very much needed. Thanks to all the experts in advance.

Hi
This is the sample code I was used for the similar requirement.

v_file_listings = pa_filn1.

My Mac has broken and I want to sell it for parts. How can I be sure that my personal data that is/was on the hard drive is safe?

My 2006 MacBook Pro has broken. There is a little bit of drive noise when I turn it on, but then nothing happens. It is no big deal. Most of my files were backed up. There are a few files I would like to recover if possible, but nothing worth a major effort.
I have seen that broken MacBook Pro's go for about $300 on eBay for parts, so I would like to sell the MacBook Pro. However, I only want to do that after I am sure that my personal data is wiped out. Does anyone know how I can accomplish that? Does anyone know of an easy way to search the old hard drive for some of the data that I lost? Can a Genius Bar take care of this stuff for me (and how much do they charge?)?
Thank you for your help.

The ONLY real secure way to be sure that noone may recover data from your drive is, to remove the drive, and drill one or two 1" holes thru the disk.
A bit less secure but useful way is, to wipe out the data with a tool that's overwrite all sectors of the drive with randomized data in multiple runs.
For example: Permanent Ereaser http://www.edenwaith.com/products/permanent%20eraser/
Independent tests bring out, that even specialized recovery companies with forensic tools are unable to find useful data after such a run.

There are some recovery tools out there to fit your needs, e.g. MacKeeper http://mackeeper.zeobit.com/mac-data-recovery
